LATE BREAKING ALERT  NEXT VOTE ON SEMI AUTO BAN WILL TAKE PLACE SUNDAY YOUR IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED

After getting nowhere in the Senate, the gun controllers have taken their campaign to destroy your rights to the Illinois House. Earlier today, Amendment #1 to SB2899 was introduced in the Illinois House of Representatives. Sponsored by rabidly anti-gun Rep. Eddie Acevedo, the amendment would do two things to you:

1. It would pick your pocket to pay for the confiscation and destruction of your own guns.

2. It would ban more than 50% of the rifles and more than 80% of handguns owned by Illinois citizens.

THIS BILL WILL BE VOTED ON BY THE HOUSE JUDICIARY 1 COMMITTEE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON  YOU MUST ACT NOW!

To help save your guns, please contact the following Representatives and politely tell them that you are a law-abiding firearm owner and that you do not support SB2899 and that you expect them to vote the amendment down.

1. Rep. Elaine Nekritz,. (217) 558-1004 and (847) 257-0450

Sneaky Lame duck tricks, just like the fiscal cliff nonsense. Have votes and most likely noone to take calls. Gun rights people will probably have to show up at the Capitol to be heard. Staffs normally not in on Sunday but we'll see.

I think anyone that voted for Obama should not be allowed to to own guns. Guns should be kept out of the hands of those who are mentally incompetent. We have seen where this leads and it must be stopped.

The limousine elites with their personal entourages of highly armed private contractor security are behind the agenda and push to disarm average law abiding Americans. They want the power and they want your money and pensions too, and they want you to be totally dependent on an unanswered 911 call for your security.

I just wrote to Mike Connelly. Based on his FB comments, I think he will oppose the goofyness. Let’s see the ILL-ANNOY legislature get serious about the court-ordered conceal-carry legislation. The gun-grabbing Sodomites need to be blocked.

Thanks for the info, Speaker Madigan will probably not let John Bradley be on this committee, he’s a pro gun rep and a Dem. He currently has 64 Democrats and that will increase to 71 on Wednesday, veto proof majority.

It’s going no where. This is just political cover for when the IL liberals are “forced” to pass CC by the courts. Illinois is never what it seems. This isn’t the Land of Lincoln, but the Land of Illusions.

This is just political cover for when the IL liberals are forced to pass CC by the courts.

What is the point? The number of people who actually support "gun control" are a tiny minority of the population. They have no significant number of votes. It makes much more sense to see this as a last minute desparation ploy by those ideologues who want the rest of us disarmed.

What is the point? They’ll need political cover. The money and votes from the areas these politicians are from do support gun control. This won’t pass and it’s against the national trend and the trend in law. Even liberal legal scholars admit that the 2nd Amendment is an individual right with very, very few limitations.

Why are they pushing same-sex marriage at the same time? Didn’t anybody count the votes or set this up in advance? It’s a political ploy.
